Alex Dowd…
Is an Ottawa-born tattoo artist known for her “cute n’ creepy” aesthetic—a blend of whimsical charm and dark, sketchy edge. She started drawing in middle school, kicking things off with the classic how-to-draw manga books before shifting into coloured-pencil realism. By 22, she’d reached her dream of becoming a tattoo artist, officially starting her career in 2021.
Her work focuses on black-and-red Illustrative and ink-styled, sketch-driven tattoos. Bugs, mushrooms, pretty lady faces, swords, or strange little creatures—if it’s whimsical or a bit weird, it’s right in her wheelhouse. Alex brings a playful energy to everything she creates, building tattoos that are expressive, bold, and full of personality.
Outside or inside the studio, she’s always down for a Mario Kart challenge… if you’re brave enough to take her on.
“Got a tattoo here from Alex. Very talented artist, clean environment, and I felt really welcomed by the staff. Super happy with my tattoo.”
